There can be many reasons to learn how to cut your own hair. Do you want to create an image, and do hairdressers cut hair the way they see it? Are you not ready to regularly shell out sums to correct your hairstyle or beard? Do you want to change your image, but are not ready to constantly go to the salon? Then learn the basic rules, buy a hair clipper, get good at it and do what you like.

How does it work

Modern devices are no different in design from devices ten or twenty years ago: they are based on an electronic motor, which, under the influence of current, causes the knives to rotate or vibrate. The higher the motor power and the more intense the movement of the blades, the more tasks it can perform. Nozzles are used to perform the assigned tasks. Let's look at each element.

Electric motor

The main structural element. Depending on the engineering solution used as the basis, two types are distinguished:

1. The use of a rotary motor that imparts reciprocating motion to the knife block. Provides high power and good torque. Professional equipment is usually of the rotary type. This machine can handle any task, even complex ones.
2. Using an electromagnetic coil (pair). A machine of this type does not have much power, because... A weak impulse is transmitted to the knives.Suitable for edging, adjusting, etc. work of short duration, short duration.

Summarize

• Decide on your tasks and then choose a device:
• A device with a rotary motor is suitable for complex, long-term work.
• The compact, long-lasting vibration-type machine is easy to use and easy to carry out regular trimming and adjustments.

Nutrition

In addition, another criterion that determines the choice is the method of supplying voltage. Most models are equipped with an electrical cord. But for travel lovers, for places where 220V is not available, battery or hybrid devices are used.

A striking representative of such devices is a model with an electromagnetic coil - small in size, operating on a single charge for several hours. This is convenient, but there is always a chance that the machine will run out of power in the middle of the process.

If we consider hybrids, then this is, as a rule, a professional rotary type machine. If necessary, you can disconnect the cord and continue working. It has great power and does not last long in standalone mode.

Knife, attachments

Blades are the elements responsible for a beautiful and neat haircut. Steel or specially coated knives are used. The service life of ordinary metal is limited, especially low-quality alloy, therefore, with the help of spraying, the service life is extended, the quality of hair cutting is ensured, and the knives remain sharp longer.

IMPORTANT! In advertising, the compactness of the model, additional functions, and brand recognition are given first place. But the quality of the haircut and the operating time depend precisely on the quality and material of the blades.

Recommendations

Professionals advise:

• Experience is gained through practice, but you don’t have to cut everything.First, work on yourself, then take on relatives and friends. There will be success, you just need to be patient. Don't be afraid of mistakes. More than one master could not do without them.
• Watch more videos on the work of masters and training videos on haircuts. Understand how the device works and its capabilities. Remember, most machines are designed for right-handed people. To avoid problems, determine the orientation of your model.
• Start with short haircuts - they are simpler and you can always “correct” with a cut to zero. Continue after regrowth. Don't give up.
• At first, make do with a starter kit - a simple and reliable machine plus several attachments to create a smooth transition and an even border. Don’t rush to throw away money on expensive, professional equipment and a set of attachments if you don’t have at least initial experience.
• Any equipment, especially if it comes into contact with hair and skin, requires maintenance. Remember to clean and disinfect your blades regularly.
• Choose a couple of simple haircuts to do. As you master, gradually increase complexity.
• Before you start, study your hair - structure, fragility, growth rate. If necessary, contact a specialist.
